IRS-1 Antibody (E-12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects IRS-1 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), flow cytometry (FCM), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IRS-1 Antibody (E-12) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. The insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) plays a crucial role in insulin signaling as a major substrate of the insulin receptor, facilitating the transduction of signals that regulate glucose homeostasis and cellular metabolism. Located primarily in the cytoplasm, IRS-1 is essential for mediating the effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and interleukin 4 (IL-4) by undergoing phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues in response to these stimuli. Notably, IRS-1 contains three putative binding sites for the 14-3-3 protein, which are critical for its interaction with the insulin receptor and may influence insulin sensitivity. The phosphorylation of IRS-1 by casein kinase II, particularly at Thr 502 and Ser 99, is significant as it may modulate the intracellular insulin signaling cascade, highlighting the importance of post-translational modifications in regulating IRS-1 function and its downstream effects on metabolic pathways.

I see that m-IgGκ BP-HRP: sc-516102 is NOT a preferred secondary for this primary antibody. Has the sc-516102 secondary been tried with this antibody?
